ai4c

Reaction[1]:

Mechanism:

This reaction has the same mechanism with Diels Alder Reaction.

Every carbon could have at least one R group.

Specific example[2]:

Highlights and Significance:

  1. Diels-Alder linkages are thermally responsive, it could be used for synthesis of thermally responsive coating.
  2. Diels-Alder has simple conditions.
  3. Diels-Alder forms two C-C bonds in one time, it can improve the efficiency of polymerization.
